Adding and Editing Slide Media

Use the slide detail view to create a new slide or edit an existing slide.

The controls you see depend on your CMS permissions. Users with restricted permissions may not be able to access all features.

Slide detail view

The slide detail view contains slide visibility, media, caption, button, and appearance settings.

The Publish toggle controls whether the slide can appear publicly.

Start Date and End Date can be used to schedule when the slide is eligible to appear.

A slide appears publicly only when it is published and falls within its date range.

Use Image / Video Upload to select the media file for the slide.

Use Image Alt Tag to describe image content for accessibility and SEO.

The slide preview shows an approximate representation of the slide with caption, button, and placement settings. The final public display can vary based on slideshow settings, browser size, and device.
